Govt. Black-lists

14 Local Councils THE British Government is to challenge local Councils which refuse to take air-raid precautions by publicly black-listing them..

If this is to "xhame" them into taking action the Government will then do the work itself and charge the full cost to the local rates.

There are now only 14 Councils which have refused to take action. They are:--

VILLAGERS DIE

By HAROLD PEMBERTON,

Gibraltar, September 20.

IN my despatches from Seville I have given you as accurately as possible news of atrocities practised by Communists and others against Fascists and Monarchists. But owing to the rigid censorship the reporters now in Seville can give only one side of the picture-that which is favourable to the rebel cause,

Occasionally, at some considerable risk, it is possible to smuggle news by way of Gibraltar, but the occupants of cars going from Seville to Gibraltar are searched and any leakage of news is regarded as an act of espionage.

What are the rebels trying to hide from the outside world? They are trying to hide the daily killings which take place as the rebel army marches towards Madrid.

The rebels do not mind the

As war tens en heightens in the Far East, "National Defence First" has become more than a alogen throughout the length and breadth of Japan,

Only recently, a Tokyo paper published a photograph of a group of abbots, wearing robes and carrying guns on their shoulders. The photograph was taken when these monks were participating in a military drill.

Also arousing interest in Tokyo were the reports in local papers that during a recent anti-air murocuvre, all inmates of the houses of fame were summoned out to

streets to help in the fire drill.

If your child is under eleven-be careful what laxative you give him! He should have a special laxa. tive-a child's laxative.

For adult laxatives are often too harsh for a child's sensitive system. They may cause him griping pain or an upset digestion. It may be difficult to get a child to take a bad-tasting medicine.

But such things need not be. For there is one laxa tive that is perfect for children... Castoria! Castoria is made especially for children--from babyhood to eleven years. You can give it to your child with con fidence. Castoria is gentle yet thorough. It contains no castor oil, no harmful habit-forming ingredients. And children love its "candy" taste!............

In more than 5,000,000 American homes, mothers give their children Castoria for consti pation, colic due to gas, upset stomach and the first symptoms of a cold.
